Franz Ferdinand @ The Hollywood Palladium

For those of you who were not lucky enough to get your hands on some tickets or were hesitant, you missed a GREAT show. The newly remodeled Hollywood Palladium on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is one of my favorite places to watch a concert. It's intimate, newly restored and has great lighting.

The band played a total of 17 songs. I think they balanced the albums pretty well. They played a handful from each album and my Franz pallet was satisfied.

Before the show, I got to meet Nick McCarthy (keyboard/guitar/backing vocals), my favorite member of Franz Ferdinand as he was walking down Sunset Boulevard.

He is the nicest celebrity/musician I have ever met. He's kind, sweet and a bit of a flirt if I may add.
